This
month’s feature story is to highlight the
Jubilee and talk about the great men and
women we Labor with in this exciting work
God has set before us. Sharon Cain of drug
court, Joe Norton and the entire parole
staff, Sheriff McKinney and his team of
people like F.L. Estes, Jim McNair, Dave
Horn and Dave’s jail staff, Lawson Guthrie
of Task Force and DA’s office. Once in my
life I despised some of these men and all of
these offices. Funny how God works things
out! He used all these men and offices to
radically change my life FOREVER. What God
is continuing to do in our community can
only be describe as miraculous. This year’s
Jubilee is once again honoring God by
honoring our local government for teaming
with us in this common Kingdom cause of
protecting our community from this evil
world of drugs, gangs, etc., and working
together with recovery ministries to
transform the lives of those souls coming
out of this dark and sick world. We will
offer to the Lord over 100 lives like me
that God has drastically transformed the
last couple years. This is our third annual
Jubilee and these jubilees are expensive to
put on. We are purchasing food for 1200 and
have 100 Tee Shirts purchased so far. In the
past many of you have help with expenses and
some businesses have donated your services.
We have raised about half the money so far,
anything over will go toward the continued
expenses of recovery ministry. Also we are
seeking to raise $100,000.00 to purchase the
Castle Home/Future Recovery ministry of
Duncan. It’s 8,000 sq. ft and has 26 acres
of land with two ponds. This is very do-able
and many of you have indicated your support.
Now is the time! We will have open house
tours the afternoon of the Jubilee at 5:30.
Property is located at 2010 N 5thstreet
between Elk and Plato on east side of 5thstreet.

"Pre-Jubilee
Cookout"

This Saturday,
September 15th 6:30 PM at The Recovery
Church 3023 N 81 Highway north of Sears.
Everyone invited we will have great food,
live music by different praise teams and
individuals. If you have talent come and
bring your musical instruments. Great fun
and fellowship. Invite friends and come on
out!

First Recovery Home

The Recovery Church recently purchased its
first home for men who are coming out of prison,
jail, or just homeless needing a hand up, not
hand out, in life. We have been responsible for
helping many men & women coming out of prison,
jail, drug court, or bad environment's with
jobs, housing, hope, and a future with purpose.
Some of these have children and that's the
purpose for the Castle Home and the upcoming
Jubilee, see flyer for details. The home will be
a three to six month stay allowing time to
find jobs and get ahead so they can move into
permanent housing. Lynn & Sandy Parr of Parr
Real Estate manage a lot of rental properties
and they have helped us tremendously
by assisting dozens of men, women, and families
in housing the past couple of years. Their
a phenomenal blessing to our community
by helping folks get established after coming
out of a hellish life, most due to their own BAD
choices, but some are just unfortunate
circumstances. We are the Church of second
chances for those serious about change and this
house is just the beginning of what God is going
to do in our community through The Recovery
Church, next the Castle Home for families see
Jubilee story. We are excited about this move of
God in our community!

Jacky Mangum
owner ofMangum
Automotive & the Chateau 3015 Restaurantis
another business man teaming with us in this
work of God. He has employed dozens of men &
women and it is continuing to work out
wonderfully. God blesses those who bless this
work according to Genesis 12: 1-6. We are
grateful to Jacky and to the many other
businesses,you
know who you are, who are a part of this
work and have dedicated their business to the
work of the Lord. God says in 1 Samuel 2:30,
“Therefore
the LORD God of Israel says….for thosewhohonorMe I
will honor,andthosewho despiseMe shall
be lightly esteemed.

Installing Sign

We owe a great deal of gratitude
and appreciation to Scott Powell, Phillip
England, and Josh Holt, for enduring the 110
degrees heat on their day off to get our new
sign installed. The old man working the fork
life is Wayne Graham. He and Lynn Parr
thought we needed some bosses. I’m not sure we
would have gotten it done without them, right
guys? Thanks men it looks great! The three
working men are about to finish 2 years of drug
court and have become a major part of our
family and God's Kingdom. Just three more
success stories of what God is doing in our
community through the team work of local
government, (drug court, parole office, sheriff
dept./jails, district attorney’s office/task
force) and The Recovery Church/
Recovery Ministries of Duncan.

In
closing I have chosen a couple of our heavenly
Father’s sentences that I feel best describes
the work He is doing through our ministry,
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all
comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction,
so that we may be able to comfort those who are
in any affliction, with the comfort with which
we ourselves are comforted by God.—As a father
shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows
compassion to those who love him. For he knows
our frame; he remembers that we are only dust,
“I, I Am He who comforts you.”2
Corinthian 1:3-4, Psalm 103:13-14, Isaiah 51:12.

Please help me with a simple survey. Enclosed
is an envelope, just add a stamp and mail it
letting me know you enjoy keeping up with this
work and would like to continue receiving the
monthly newsletters. Your continued support has
allowed us to destroy many works of the devil in
our community as we take the kingdom of God into
the dark places of our sphere of influence.
Thank each of you for sharing in this most
needed work.
